Ingredients

Preparation

Pour water into a measuring cup and heat in microwave to 120º to 130º F. Add canola oil and set aside.

Combine 2 cups flour, salt and yeast in a large bowl. Add warm water and oil and stir to form the dough. Stir in an additional 1/2-cup flour.

Place dough on a floured board. Sprinkle with flour and knead dough 5 to 6 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add more flour as needed to prevent sticking. Divide in half and form 2 balls.

Cover dough and let rise for 10 minutes. Punch dough down and form each ball into a flat 12" pizza shape. Place on pizza pan or baking stone.

Spread sauce over each pizza, add pizza toppings and bake at 425º F for 12 to 16 minutes until bubbly and browned on top.

Helpful hints

To form a 12" pizza, turn a medium-sized bowl upside down and dust with flour. Gently stretch dough evenly over outside of the bowl; turn and place on pizza pan.

Divide each dough ball in half to make four individual-sized pizzas.

Creative suggestions for Easy Pizza Dough

Make bread sticks by dividing dough into 16 pieces and roll into cigar-shaped pieces. Bake at 425º F until golden brown.

Make rolls by dividing dough into 8 rolls. Let rise until doubled in size, brush with oil and bake at 425º F until golden brown.

Make cinnamon rolls by rolling each dough ball into a rectangular shape. Spread with softened butter, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon cinnamon and 1/2-cup sugar or granulated sugar substitute. Roll up and cut roll into 2" pieces. Place cinnamon rolls in a buttered dish and bake at 400º F until golden brown.

This was a very simple recipe and easy one to follow. Not a lot of work to do the kneading, so I didn't feel it necessary for a standup mixer, but I'm sure you could use one on slow speed to work thru it for a few minutes before using the dough. I only used it for the pizza and my family and I thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be using this from now on!
